License tagging for Image:DSceneMySpace.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DSceneMySpace.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Billyvan-fmg-officialphoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Billyvan-fmg-officialphoto.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:56, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

billy van

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Although you gave some references/external links, they did not appear to be reliable independent sources, and there isn't any obvious explanation of why he is notable. In fact, I don't even know what his nationality is, that seems to have been overlooked amongst all the spam.
More to the point, it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: unique combination of hyper aggressive sounds, funky improvisation, and pop songwriting... Infectious melodies and stirring progressions... those beautifully delicate crafts... captured millions of listeners... displayed the versatility of Billy’s production... signature musicianship... — this is a sales pitch, not an encyclopaedia article
The article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source.

Basically, this is an album-cover blurb, not a neutral informative article Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:49, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, let me know when you are ready Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:52, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I made these formatting changes
You need a first sentence to tell us who he is, something like — Billy van is an American musician from ??
Give any other factual bio stuff if known, dob, school etc
I'd be inclined to lose some of the social media stuff (soundcloud, facebook, itunes), current long list looks a bit desperate and promotional.
I'm not totally convinced either that he meets our notability criteria or that the sources are all that impeccable. Nevertheless, if you make the changes above, I'll leave it to others to decide on that.
When you are ready, use the "move" button to get it to article space, don't copy-and-paste.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Billyvan-fmg-officialphoto.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Billyvan-fmg-officialphoto.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:08, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:KaddisflyHGOSCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:KaddisflyHGOSCover.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 21:46, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Horses Galloping on Sailboats moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Horses Galloping on Sailboats, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your draft article, Draft:Horses Galloping on Sailboats

Hello, Chronofied. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Horses Galloping on Sailboats".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 17:08, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
